Ginagamit ang Ingles sa mga pamagat ng pelikulang Filipino upang makaakit
ng mas malawak na manonood, kabilang ang mga nasa ibang bansa. Nagbibigay
ito ng modernong dating at mas magandang impresyon na maaaring magpataas ng
interes ng mga tao. Mas madaling tandaan at gamitin sa marketing ang mga
pamagat na Ingles, lalo na sa social media. Sa kabila ng pagiging Filipino ng
pelikula, praktikal ang Ingles upang maabot ang mas maraming manonood.
Pagyamanin

nakadaragdag ito sa kagandahan ng pelikula. Mas tumutugma ito sa realidad ng
buhay ng mga Pilipino, na sanay gumamit ng parehong wika.
. Nakita ko ang mga kulturang Pilipino gaya ng pagmamahal at
pagpapatawad sa pamilya. Ipinakita rito ang likas na pagkakaroon ng mga
Pilipino ng malasakit sa kanilang mahal sa buhay, lalo na sa pag-unawa at
pagbibigay ng kapatawaran.
3. Oo, makatotohanan ang mga eksenang nagpapakita ng kulturang Pilipino sa

pelikula, tulad ng pagiging mapagmahal, mapagpatawad, at ang pagpapahalaga sa
pag-uusap at pagkakaintindihan.

ANECDOTE: (short story-true to life experience)
I still remember the day it rained so hard. My brother and I couldn’t resist
joining our cousins to play outside in the rain. In our excitement, I slipped on the
mossy ground and landed flat on my back. We all burst out laughing, thinking it
was the funniest fall of the day. Looking back, it’s still one of our favorite
memories.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
1. What significant lesson have you learned from the story? How will you
apply it in your own life?
The lesson I learned from the story is about understanding and forgiveness.
Sometimes, people make mistakes, and it’s important to try to understand their
reasons before making judgments. In my own life, I will try to be more patient and
forgiving with others, especially when they make mistakes that affect me.
2. Why do you think some married men commit extramarital affair?
Some married men might commit extramarital affairs because they feel
unsatisfied in their relationship, or they want something different outside of their
marriage. It could also be because of selfish reasons or a lack of self-control.
3. React on this: It is ordinary in our Filipino culture for husbands to commit
adultery and look for another woman who can satisfy their desires simply
because they are men and not saints.
It’s wrong to say that adultery is ordinary just because someone is a man. Both
men and women should be responsible for their actions. We should expect more
from everyone, regardless of gender, and work on building stronger relationships
based on trust, respect, and loyalty. It is not right for anyone to cheat because of
their desires.
